Her parentsmoved to Greenville in 1851, andWALLACE.' the remainder of ber childhoodana early womanhood were spentin this town. She was well educs-ted, and as a young lady is remem-bered by many of our people asbeing one of marked culture andrefinement, and greatly loved forthe gentleness and purity of everythought and act, and for her love-~ly character.On May 22nd, 1864, she unitedwith the Greenville Baptist churchand was baptized by Rev. HenryPetty. oShe was devoted to thechurch and its work and provedone of its most faithful members.She esteemed it a priyilege toserve her Savior and every duty~was a pleasure.Op June 17th, 1868, she marriedRey. 8.8.

Though far away she never forgot North Carolina and oc-Casioually came back to her oldhome to yisit the family of hersister, Mrs. M. A. Jarvis, andgreet her host of friends whowere always glad to welcome her.The best evidence of the esteemin which she was beld in her dis-tant hume is portrayed in a tri-bute by a jot committee fromthe church and Ladies Society of}Trinidad, which was published inthe Morning Chronicle of Nov,12th. A friend has kindly loanedusa copy of that paper and wetake pleasure in publishing thetribute that here friends here mayoyead it.

Theone made of yellow flannel is to wardoff evil spirits, the other of red flannelis supposed to insure mcol Inehk, orbring to pass some cherished desire ofthe owner. The contents cevend upencircumstanecs, and the cost is from 25cents toa dollar.The docto hears the vistiorTs story,and, after deciding what the remedyshal] be, selects a small bag of theproper tint of redT or yellow, and putsinto it somcthing like the following:A piece of hair or whiskers; someearth that the right or left foot has trodat the ~hour of midnight at a certaindesignated spot; a relic of a deadfriend; a clipping of the applicart'sfinger or toe nail; a piece of moneyfrom the person, or belonging indirect-ly to the candidate, which must besoaked so many hours in vinegar, 1I!co-hol or whisky; a few watermelonseeds; a little gunpowder, perhaps, or~maybe a pinch of snuff-or a piece ofoLittle David root� will do the busi-ness. What oLittle David rootT is nomortal but a voodoo doctor has everbeen able to find out, and yet the great-est possible faith is placed in its powersby the superstitious darkies, who be-lieve anything the docter tells them.It is a peculiar growth that looks verymuch like slippery elm, and the secretof its origin or place of hiding is heldin common only by the doctors and the| priests who practice this style of oblackart.�Among other things that an applicantis told to dois to place a piece ofthis root in his or her mouth.It is almost immediately dis-solved into a kind of soft paste,and when pressed between the palmsthe future can be as easily foretold as if~read from so many pages of typewrit-ten manuscript. At least the aston-|ished negroes think so, and thoroughlybelieve in it. oLittle David root� isresponsible for a great deal of supersti-tion in the south.There is now living in a suburb of At-~lanta, Ga., a fine, fat negress, weighing250 pounds or more, who has the repu-| tation of being the most successful voo-~doo doctor in these parts. Her cabin isa veritable curiosity shop, which ishung about with more symbols andcharms than an IndianTs wigwam.Amorg other things her supply ofocungers� is unlimited, and these aresold to visitors (unbelievers included)at an average rate of 50 centseach.
